I am having trouple figuring out how to mechanicaly zero my scope, If its even required. I have counted the clicks and divided by 2 to get 134 (elevation) then I set the 0 to the centerline.

However I see horizontal lines on the turret that indicate like a micrometer, Do I need to get the zero horizontal line to line up with that and if not what do I need to know about those lines (Are they useful or not etc) and How do I use those lines in the future.

I hope this isnt too much of a new guy question but I am actively persuing this as a skill set to hone and get to the level you guys are at.

You understand just because the scope is zeroed it does not mean the rifle and scope is zeroed? Generally centering the cross hair is done when installing a scope on a rifle for the first time to see how well it lines with the rifle bore. Beyond that it does nothing for zeroing the rifle

I wouldn't worry with mechanical center. It probably will not be mechanically centered after sight in anyway. Just bore sight it and zero it in, then put the turret back to zero and write down which line is closest. Enjoy the vortex, they are great scopes for the money.

Yes lol I know, I wanted to see how much elevation I had available to me and figure out what those referance lines ment
